The topological fundamental group $\pi_{1}^{top}$ is a homotopy invariant finer than the usual fundamental group. It assigns to each space a quasitopological group and is discrete on spaces which admit universal covers. For an arbitrary…

We say that a topological space $X$ is selectively highly divergent (SHD) if for every sequence of non-empty open sets $\{U_n\mid n\in\omega \}$ of $X$, we can find $x_n\in U_n$ such that the sequence $(x_n)$ has no convergent subsequences.…

To every homotopy n-nilpotent group, defined in earlier work by Dwyer and the author, we associate an endofunctor of pointed spaces and prove that it is looped and n-excisive. As a tool we prove that $\Omega P_n({\rm id})$ commutes with…

We study the foundational properties of persistent homotopy groups and develop elementary computational methods for their analysis. Our main theorems are persistent analogues of the Van Kampen, excision, suspension, and Hurewicz theorems.…

Using Gottschalk's notion\,---\,weakly locally almost periodic point, we show in this paper that if $f\colon X\rightarrow X$ is a minimal continuous transformation of a compact Hausdorff space $X$ to itself, then for all entourage…

We say that a set is exhaustible if it admits algorithmic universal quantification for continuous predicates in finite time, and searchable if there is an algorithm that, given any continuous predicate, either selects an element for which…

Let $\FP(X)$ be the free paratopological group on a topological space $X$. For $n\in \N$, denote by $\FP_n(X)$ the subset of $\FP(X)$ consisting of all words of reduced length at most $n$, and by $i_n$ the natural mapping from $(X\oplus…

In this paper, we prove the following version of the famous Bernstein's theorem: Let $X\subset \mathbb R^{n+k}$ be a closed and connected set with Hausdorff dimension $n$. Assume that $X$ satisfies the monotonicity formula at $p\in X$.…

We construct an example of a Peano continuum $X$ such that: (i) $X$ is a one-point compactification of a polyhedron; (ii) $X$ is weakly homotopy equivalent to a point (i.e. $\pi_n(X)$ is trivial for all $n \geq 0$); (iii) $X$ is…

Let G be a connected reductive complex affine algebraic group, and let X denote the moduli space of G-valued representations of a rank r free group. We first characterize the singularities in X, extending a theorem of Richardson and proving…

Let $X$ be a complex, irreducible, quasi-projective variety, and $\pi:\widetilde X\to X$ a resolution of singularities of $X$. Assume that the singular locus ${\text{Sing}}(X)$ of $X$ is smooth, that the induced map…

We introduce a natural way to construct a random subset of a homogeneous Cantor set $C$ in $[0,1]$ via random labelings of an infinite $M$-ary tree, where $M\geq 2$. The Cantor set $C$ is the attractor of an equicontractive iterated…

We show that for a large class of piecewise expanding maps T, the bounded p-variation observables u_0 that admits an infinite sequence of bounded p-variation observables u_i satisfying u_i(x)= u_{i+1}(Tx) -u_{i+1}(x) are constant. The…

The path component space of a topological space $X$ is the quotient space $\pi_0(X)$ whose points are the path components of $X$. We show that every Tychonoff space $X$ is the path-component space of a Tychonoff space $Y$ of weight…

We consider how the outputs of the Kadison transitivity theorem and Gelfand-Naimark-Segal construction may be obtained in families when the initial data are varied. More precisely, for the Kadison transitivity theorem, we prove that for any…

We extend the classical Mercer theorem to reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces whose elements are functions from a measurable space $X$into $\mathbb C^n$. Given a finite measure $\mu$ on $X$, we represent the reproducing kernel $K$ as…

In this paper, we define an analytical index for a continuous family of Fredholm operators parameterized by a topological space $\mathbb{X}$ into a Hilbert space $H,$ as a sequence of integers, extending naturally the usual definition of…

We study random unconditionality of Dirichlet series in vector-valued Hardy spaces $\mathcal H_p(X)$. It is shown that a Banach space $X$ has type 2 (respectively, cotype 2) if and only if for every choice $(x_n)_n\subset X$ it follows that…

We prove that any two countable, compact, subsets of $\mathbb{S}^n, n\geq 2$ that are homeomorphic also have homeomorphic complements. Thus any wild subspace like the classical construction of Antoine must contain a Cantor set.

Whitehead products and natural infinite sums are prominent in the higher homotopy groups of the $n$-dimensional infinite earring space $\mathbb{E}_n$ and other locally complicated Peano continua. In this paper, we derive general identities…
